This video made me quite emotional. I find myself incredibly lucky in the fact that I have never seriously dealt with self harm or suicide personally, but it is still an issue that I am very passionate about. I would not have discovered this passion and my desire to have a career in suicide prevention if it was not for To Write Love on Her Arms. Even though I am only a freshman in college, I know this is what I want to do with my life and I am working towards being able to intern with TWLOHA in the near future to help me reach this goal. This organization does great things and I know even greater things can be done if TWLOHA wins this. You can be sure that I will be voting everyday and asking my friends to do the same.

I've been dealing with depression and self harm for about a year, around this time last year is when i became depressed. I've lost all my friends, my mom hates me, so does 2 of my brothers. I don't have many people in my life, TWLOHA is a big deal to me, and i do everything i can to support them, but I don't talk about my depression with anyone because i am afraid they wont care or try to help me.

I've never personally dealt with depression, self harm, addiction, or suicide, but I've lost my aunt and my cousin both to suicide and there have been about four times I've lost my big sister to suicide. I want to do anything I can to make sure that anyone and everyone struggling with depression, self harm, addiction, or suicide has a support group and help available to them and I truly believe TWLOHA is an amazing source! I'm a Resident Assistant in one of the residence halls at my university and I plan on setting up a table by the front door and stopping residents as they walk by to inform them about TWLOHA and then ask them to vote for the charity I support the most! I know I'll be voting every day!

I personally struggle with depression and someone very close to me struggles with addiction as well. I feel that To Write Love On Her Arms is the most amazing organization that could have been created in today’s society because as I know from personal experience, dealing with these issues isn’t an easy thing to do, and talking about them is even harder. I commend you all for doing what you do and I hope to become involved as much as I possibly can with this organization in the future. I’d love to tell my story and help other people to understand how important love is and how much love is truly out there. This campaign is beyond doubt, amazingly inspirational and I can only hope to become as motivating as you guys are.
I am currently majoring in honours psychology as I hope to one day change the lives of many people by helping them as I have been helped in the past. Depression, self harm, suicide, and addiction are ongoing struggles that many people face and I hope to do my part in eliminating these torturous challenges from the lives of as many people as I can. I’d never wish the fate that I’ve faced upon anyone and I know that in my heart, doing the right thing will change the world some day. Thank you so much for what you do, you truly are a blessing.

I've been fighting bipolar disorder, depression, anorexia, and self harm for nearly 5 years now. TWLOHA has been with me through every step. A few of my therapists told me about it, and were surprised I already knew! I haven't engaged in eating disordered behavior in months, my bipolar disorder and depression have significantly improved, I haven't been hospitalized since November and I haven't self harmed for nearly a month now. My goal is to show struggling people that recovery is possible, and I'm living proof. TWLOHA is my favorite charity. You deserve the 1,000,000 dollars.

TWLOHA has helped me see there are people out there who have the same problems that I do.

TWLOHA really is amazing. I vote for them every time even though the other charities are amazing as well. Let's not forget about them when this is all over. My partner introduced me to TWLOHA about 4 years ago and I have been loving them ever since. I used to self harm and I have a poor body image that is separate from that. My partner used to self harm a lot and hasn't done so in 4 1/2 years. It is a daily struggle. The first year or so was the hardest but it's gotten a little easier. But that will always be a part of her and TWLOHA needs to be around till the end of time to help all these people like us.
Thank you for being so amazing.

I will definately vote for TWLOHA~ My 14 year old daughter has dealt with depression and low self esteem, and has started cutting this past year. Breaks my heart and just hurts when I see a new cut. I pray for the days when she can stop the self injury. Thanks for educating and helping people on this serious problem!

I have many friends who have had to deal with depression, anorexia, bulimia and suicidal tendencies, two of my best friends have had to deal with it this year. I know TWLOHA has helped one of them so much and I have introduced my other friend to it, it's already helped her to improve. To all those suffering and who feel alone, talk to a friend, we want to help you :) You are never alone and it really can get better :) I've seen it first hand and it makes so much of a difference to yours and everyone else's lives when we see a smile on your face. Love yourself, you're beautiful

I've been struggling with depression, trying to stay away from self injury and any eating disorders. It's hard, and just knowing that there is someone that is there that would help is a major boost. I had a friend who has it worse than me, and has attempted suicide. Thankfully she is still alive, but sadly is struggling with other difficulties that life has thrown her way. My friends make everything bearable, although I hesitate to tell them, because the ones I have told have kind of distanced themselves. I'm so glad there is an organization that helps with this. My votes are cast, and TWLOHA will always have my support. Thank you for being there.

Please vote! Many people like me have been struggling emotionally and I know this through experience. Many people have there issues I mean life isn't easy there will always be its downs but organizations like these help teens like me to know that everything will be ok with the right help everything will be ok.Hopefully you guys get the votes necessary to win I really mean it.

This video made me very emotional... I am tearing up right now.

For years I have been suffering with all of these issues. This organization means a lot to me, and I truly believe TWLOHA has the power to help people... people just like me. It's helping them already.

My school raised over one thousand dollars for this organization, and at lunch they pulled down a big screen and we did a live video chat with Danielle, a representative from TWLOHA.

I made a facebook account just to vote.
I truly, truly, TRULY hope you guys win this. You could do so much.

I'm so glad i finally took the time to figure out what To Write Love On Her Arms was. I always see the shirts and the slogan and I just figured that it was a band and never really paid much attention. But I'm glad I googled it, because these issues are so very important to me. I have so many friends who go through their ups & downs, and I do as well.. & at those times it's hard to find the right words to say. Sometimes it feels like nothing will ever help, it feels like it won't get better.. but it always does get better.

I love this organization, I think it's brilliant. Just the fact that people can come to a website and KNOW they're not the only ones, and to hear thoughts and words of encouragement.. this could make a huge difference in peoples lives.

It is the fourth day, and I'm regretful for stumbling upon this so late. But this organization has my 4 votes.

December 9th will be one year I have made it without cutting. I have lived with anxiety and some behavioral challenges as far back as I can remember. My family does not believe I used to cut and they really have not been all that open about helping with my self injury but I was lucky to find support in some friends (others always compare their anxiety to mine and that acts like a trigger) sometimes I just feel like I cut for control and I am celebrating one year free of that by honoring my friends in a night out bowling. I feel like A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON NOW. without the support of TWLOHA blogs I don't think I would be celebrating this year free.

Dear Jen, maybe you could be the one to start something like Twloha in Ireland. This whole organinzation was started by one person who decided to make a difference. I'm sure there are other people struggling where you are, and maybe you could be the one to reach out and show that there is a need for people to get help. Just a suggestion. I hope all goes well!

29 | Left by Emily | Dec. 4, 2011 at 11:47am

Congratulations Dani on making it almost a whole year without cutting!! That's a huge step! I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you and I hope you will keep fighting and don't go back to letting it control your life.

I just want to say thanks to the TWLOHA program. It means so much to me that someone realized the necessity of something like this. Jaime came and talked to my school and I was priviledged to personally say thank-you. To come to the realization that you are not alone, even when you feel like no one is there, is an amazing feeling. Again, thanks for all that you do.
